00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:07.680
today we're going to be doing an unboxing of a new SSD from Kingston This

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.160
is their SSD now v+ so we've already talked about the SSD now v+ series an

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:17.920
awful lot I did a full install guide where I showed upgrading my laptop from

00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:20.320
a 5400 RPM mobile hard drive to an SSD

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:26.760
now v+ but this one is slightly different this is their 100e series of

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.640
SSD now v+ and this one is fully

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:33.559
encrypted so that means your data is completely protected when it is on this

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:38.360
drive now what exactly does that mean well it has 120 bit AES Hardware

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:42.280
encryption which means that you're not fooling around with any kind of software

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:46.559
solution it increases your system and application performance well that's just

00:00:43.879 --> 00:00:51.079
a characteristic of an SSD in general and it increases reliability so that's

00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:55.079
another General SSD ability so let's go ahead and take this guy out and have a

00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:58.079
look this is a 64 gig Drive although it is available in different capacities

00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:04.320
depending on your needs and let's just kind of sorry I

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:07.159
have to focus when I'm using knives

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:11.439
because otherwise I could damage my unboxing

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:17.040
fingers without those I mean I wouldn't be able to unbox

00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:21.240
anything and I'd be in real

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:23.320
trouble okay here we go so oh they're

00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:28.479
claiming up to five times faster than a standard 5400 RPM hard drive I mean uh I

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:32.320
would say that's probably conservative depending on what you're doing because

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.079
if you're using a 5400 RPM hard drive I mean obviously they're targeting this

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.680
skew at notebooks for business users who might not want people having

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:45.320
unauthorized access to their hard drive but depending what you're doing I mean

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:47.079
an SSD can just blow away a standard

00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:52.079
hard drive like if you're doing lots of little data accesses versus sustained

00:01:50.119 --> 00:01:55.000
data transfer so here we go English so you got some system requirements you

00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:58.920
need a SATA interface and power connector handling precautions be very

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:03.119
careful with it uh don't you know rub your feet around on the C it and then

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.039
touch touch it to try and zap it because that's a terrible idea uh set up ATA

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:11.039
security C passwords here we go hey check this out

00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:15.239
okay so this is how the encryption works so never lose misplace or forget your

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:20.400
master Andor user password never do that once you enable an ATA security password

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.480
this SSD will be permanently inaccessible if your password is lost

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:29.959
misplaced or stolen so administrators and managers we recommend that you set a

00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:31.400
master password which cannot be reset if

00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:36.920
lost misplaced or soulen therefore always store the master password in a safe secure location so there you go you

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:41.040
better be careful once youve set this guy up if you like get hit in the head

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.480
really hard and you develop Amnesia you're in real trouble unless someone

00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:47.640
else has the master password and they can bail you out so you've got your

00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.200
standard mounting holes which are on the bottom or on the sides for 2 and 1/2 in

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.680
drives just like that you know it's actually substantially heavier than most

00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:58.000
ssds that I've encountered in the past as well you've got a little warranty

00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:01.480
void if remove sticker here so please don't take the drive apart you've got a

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.680
standard SATA 2 interface at the back that means SATA 2 power as well as SATA

00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:09.319
2 Data along with some jumpers and that's pretty much it I mean the finish

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.959
of the drive is quite nice but what this really comes down to is who needs

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:19.599
this let's say you're working on you know a top secret project for the

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.480
military or you're working on something for you know your company that you don't

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:28.720
want to get into the hands of your competitors you want to make sure that even if your laptop is stolen or lost

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:34.959
any data that you have on it cannot be accessed unless it's being turned on by

00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:37.560
you this is what you need because I mean

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:41.239
really uh it's so easy to break past a Windows password or to just take a drive

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:45.239
out throw it in another system and then access all the data that there's no

00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:48.400
security at all with a regular Drive whereas if you have a hardware encrypted

00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:53.159
drive you can actually protect it from anyone who is trying to steal your data
